Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Raw green peanuts (in the shell)
- 16 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Kosher salt
Instructions
Rinse the raw green peanuts thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any peanuts with cracks or mold.
In a large stockpot, combine the peanuts, water, and kosher salt.
Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover the pot with a lid but leave it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
Let the peanuts simmer for 2 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Check for doneness after 2 hours by tasting a peanut—the texture should be soft, but not mushy, and the saltiness should meet your preference.
If needed, adjust the salt and continue cooking until the desired texture and flavor are reached. Add more water during cooking if necessary to keep the peanuts submerged.
Once done, turn off the heat and let the peanuts sit in the brine for an additional 30 minutes to enhance their flavor.
Drain the peanuts and serve warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, reheating as desired.
